Updating Prince Salman's Plan -- Two Items -- February 22, 2018

I link the Prince Salman plan at the sideboard at the right.

I would not have posted this as a stand-alone post, but the figures put side-by-side are interesting. Prince Salman plans to invest almost as much in his country's entertainment industry as his country's nuclear program. And it looks like he's going to "do" the entertainment spending more quickly than the nuclear spending. Previously posted:

• February 22, 2018: Saudi Arabia will invest $64 billion in developing its entertainment industry over the next decade.
• February 19, 2018: Saudi Arabia plans to build sixteen (16) nuclear reactors within the next 20 - 25 years -- total cost: over $80 billion.

In one case, $64 billion over one decade; in the other case, $80 billion over three decades.

Huge thanks for a reader for sending me the link. I always enjoy updating Prince Salman's plan.
